Listmates, After taking 2 steps forward in the past couple of updates, looks like we went 3 steps back. On my Toshiba laptop with RS690M (x1200), the latest updates completely prevent X from starting. The bug seems related to Atombios. A summary of the errors and warning from my Xorg.0.log are as follows: 01:13 alchemy:~/archlinux/apps> grep "EE\|WW" Xorg.broken.log Current Operating System: Linux alchemy 2.6.30-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jul 20 07:46:03 CEST 2009 x86_64 (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.

Then of course, X just dies. Full build logs (configure + make) and my Xorg.broken.log and Xorg.normal.log are attached. Let me know if I can send anything else. My hand is burning again using the standard radeonhd driver provided by archlinux - xf86-video-radeonhd-1.2.5-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz. Keep up the great work. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
